This Winter Wreath was easy and quick to put together, and I think it could be the perfect piece to transition from Christmas through Winter and right into Spring (with the bird’s eggs and all…).

Spring is here! I’m so happy to finally be finished with Winter and I’m even more excited for the warmer temperatures.

Homemade Easter Decor

For my Easter tablescape this year, I added some fun and natural items to my decor. These new elements were super easy to make and didn’t cost a penny, since I’m kind of a hoarder of decor and craft items. Lol. In this post, I’ll show you the how-to for making your own Easter decor. […]

Easter Tablescape

For this years Easter Dinner Table, I wanted to do something special and add some natural elements. I love the end result, and how the natural twigs and moss paired with the bright blue and green eggs creates an interesting contrast. Using items I already had on hand, I was able to pull this […]
